Problem 5.
Arm ABC acts as a brake on the pulley (radius r = 200 mm) as shown in the figure. The
coefficient of static friction at B is µs = 0.4. Neglecting friction between the rope and the
pulley, weights of the arm and the pulley. Given W = 150 N .
a. If M = 0, does the 100 N force hold it in equilibrium?
b. If not, determine the smallest and largest moments M that can act on the pulley without
causing it to slip.

Problem 6.
A structural member is subjected to a set of forces and moments. Each separately produces
the stress states at a point as shown in figures (a) and (b). Determine the principal stresses
and their orientations at the point under the effect of combined loading and plot it in a neat
sketch.
